The Counterfeit Lover (War of Sins Book 3)

Andreas rewound the footage, the words sounding out loud and clear.

‘You’re pregnant,’ Noelle gasped.

‘Yes,’ Venezia confirmed. ‘And if anyone finds out… I don’t want anyone to know Michele is the father, or that he has anything at all to do with this baby…’

Selecting the small clip where Noelle had been in the same room with Venezia discussing her pregnancy, Andreas clicked delete.

One click and everything would be forgotten.

At least for now.

It wasn’t the first time he’d done it—altered the footage ever so slightly to remove all traces of Venezia’s pregnancy. And with Michele’s obsession about watching her every day, it was likely not the last time he would have to either.

He’d been the happiest to find out that Miss Venezia hadn’t aborted the baby. But then he’d realized what that could mean for Michele.

It would be either the best news, or the worst.

At that moment, Michele wasn’t yet ready to know he was to become a father—would likely not be ready for a long time. But when he would be, Andreas knew he would become the greatest father possible.

It was why he was doing all this—why he was betraying his friend’s confidence when he knew how much it meant to him.

Michele wasn’t ready yet. But if things went according to plan, he eventually would be.

Until then, Andreas would do his best to keep the secret and help the two lovers from behind the scenes.

If anyone could bring Michele back from the path of self-destruction he’d embarked on it was Miss Venezia.

Only her.

For that, she had Andreas’ full support.

After all, everything he ever did was for Michele’s sake.

Only ever for him.
